Quality Control Group Charter

Focus and Purpose

The PSI-QC working group is composed of academic, government, and industry researchers, software developers, journal representatives, and instrument manufacturers. The main goal of the PSI-QC working group is to define a community data format and associated controlled vocabulary terms, facilitating data exchange and archiving of mass spectrometry derived quality control metrics.

Current projects of the PSI-QC working group are:

The qcML format, which has been developed as a standardized format for the exchange, transmission, and archiving of quality control metrics derived from mass spectrometry.

Controlled Vocabulary development: controlled vocabulary terms are developed in common with the PSI-MS and PSI-PI groups.

Goals/Milestones

submit a perspective manuscript to a journal in the field to announce the PSI-QC WG √ (PubMed link)

analyze and revise the already published qcML format for submission to the PSI document process √

re-evaluate the CV terms used for qcML, and consolidate the location for these terms in light of the existing PSI-MS CV

adapt the already published jqcML library to handle the updates to qcML and the CV terms; implement validation
